Seismics and the City: Christchurch-Building new bridges to the future out of the rubble
Lyall
Lukey was at a Rotary meeting in Central Christchurch when the lethal
February 22 quake hit. This dynamic and thought provoking
mixed-media presentation incorporates graphic video excerpts, a
compelling story about response and recovery in the wake of the quakes
and some London Blitz-like humour.
It has powerful lessons for individuals, organisations and
communities about planning for and responding to disasters and
disruptive events. More on Lyall http://www.lukey.co.nz/people/lyall.html
Focus
on your Future
Brain training, self
motivation, goal setting, life balance, resilience, career planning:
The aim of this 45-90
minute overview session is to give your people the opportunity to take
time out in a stimulating atmosphere to focus on goals in all
areas and to provide them with a sample of practical resources
to help them achieve goals, enhance self-motivation and improve
techniques of
self-management.

Hi ho Silver Lining! Generation S Strikes Back
“Keeping
active can increase your brain power. Scientists have discovered
that the human brain can improve with advancing years, dispelling the
common belief that a person’s mental faculties peak in their
twenties…” Steven Swinford and
Richard Kerbaj
More
mature people are more likely to be rational than young people because
their brains are less susceptible to surges of dopamine, a “feelgood”
hormone that can lead to impulsive reactions. Researchers have found
that older people are able to retain a range of skills more effectively
than hitherto thought.
Expert knowledge is stored in brain
cells known as dendritic spines, which seem to be protected against
ageing. Despite slower brain “speed”, older people solve problems more
efficiently, drawing on “cognitive templates” of how they resolved
similar problems in the past, especially in helping to turn ideas into
action.
So, as Lyall Lukey shows in this fun/active multmedia presentation it really is Hi Ho Silver Lining!
